Now, that hardly seems fair. Discontinue a valuable forum of
exchange because a select group of persons has become unruly? Why
not simply remove them from the list, rather than punishing us
all for a crime we may not have committed?

Subject: [Braillenote] List Behavior
Thank you for your timely message Bob.
You are right in stating that there is no place on this list for
the
vulgar and rude posts that have come through in the past few
hours.
HumanWare may not be the perfect Company or the BrailleNote be
the
perfect Notetaker, but I personally would like to think that List
members would remember that the main reason that HumanWare
provides this
forum is for Users to assist other members by way of sharing
their
knowledge.
We will not tolerate vulgar language or insinuations on this List
and if
this is not respected we will discontinue this forum.
Thanking you in anticipation of improved List etiquette.
Regards
Maurice

Subject: [Braillenote] I know you're frustrated, b"
Hi, folks: I've been on this list again for a month or two, and
have mostly been, as the cb'ers used to say, "copying the mail."
That means, I've been mostly reading the posts.
The predominant theme of these posts has been frustration:
frustration with lack of news about the new upgrade; frustration
with the lack of response to complaints by HW; frustration with
the lack of useful features, as opposed to what might be called
frivolities; frustration that the frivolities are the wrong ones!
Frustration, frustration, frustration. Now I'm not saying that
this frustration might not be justified; what I am saying,
however, is that we're now on the third or fourth time around for
these same complaints.
When my wife, Dorie, and I bought our M-power, I got back on the
list, because I figured I could learn something. This list used
to be a wonderful source for information about how to really work
the BN. However, this list is nothing more than a source for
grousing and griping, with some occasional good questions thrown
in. (Frankly, I'm kind of surprised that the folks who dare to
ask good questions aren't severely reprimanded, and told to get
with the program, and complain like everyone else, or face the
consequences.
The BN is far from perfect; that's for sure. But, I have to
wonder: if I subscribed to another company's list, is it not
possible that I might hear complaints there, too? We always
imagine that the grass is greener, on the other side of the
fence. Usually, though, it's not greener; just different.
The new upgrade will be out soon. Maybe it will be terrible, and
maybe it won't. The fact is that, whether you like it or not,
you'll probably buy it, because, if you don't do that, you won't
be able to buy the next upgrade, which may have everything you
ever wanted on it.
I think we all need to stop and take a deep breath. We need to
think about whether messages we post are really adding any good
info, or just re-hashing the same old stuff. I also must say
that I hope that the use of vulgar language won't become more
than a one-time thing. We can hear that on the street. We don't
need to have it in our inboxes.
Well, I think this novela is over. Thank you for your
indulgence. Let's try to get back to being a list, where good
info is exchanged. Blessings, Bob
